5 Benefits And Risks Of Using AI For Cybersecurity

The piece says AI can strengthen cybersecurity by improving threat detection, speeding incident response, and easing the burden on overworked security teams.

It also points to gains in productivity, threat intelligence, and infrastructure resilience across areas like zero trust, SOAR, and anomaly detection.

But AI is not risk-free: it can introduce new vulnerabilities, so organizations need careful governance and controls.

The article argues AI is becoming central to both cyber defense and cyber risk, especially for critical infrastructure, OT, 5G, and IoT.
